For my second paper, I turned in an analysis of Alice in Wonderland (the Disney movie) in comparison with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (the Lewis Carroll fantasy novel. I have written the introduction paragraph here:

Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland removed dynamic aspects of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that contributed to the categorization of the work as a classic, thus causing anyone who had both read the novel and viewed the movie yearning for the original. The movie explained the nonsense which, in turn, made it less nonsensical and changed one of the most important dynamics of the book. Also, the movie presented Alice with a clear goal: to follow the white rabbit, and later, to get home. The question of Alice’s personal identity was nearly nonexistent, and Wonderland was kinder to Alice. She began gaining control over the nonsense of Wonderland much earlier in the movie than in the book, and the control that she did retain over Wonderland was not complete. Much of the satire unique to Carroll’s fantasy novel was removed, and several characters from his second novel, Through the Looking Glass, were added to replace some of the nonsense otherwise removed from the movie. For the reasons stated above and the following explanations, Disney’s movie was a sub-par version of Carroll’s classic story.
